Remember when a while ago I mention that life was happening on this side of the line, leading me to a blogging and book-slump? I meant that literally. Here’s the proof!
Now that I’m done with the first trimester I’m returning to life and doing Things again. Things that don’t imply eating, sleeping and watching past episodes of Project Runway and Doctor Who, that is.
Meanwhile I also did a bit of travelling. Had a conference in Orlando and then took a few days off to go on a road-trip around Florida. So now that I’m back in already-chilly Brussels, hopefully blogging will return to regular programming.
Happy Fall/Spring (depending of where in the world you are)!

Ooooh, a tiny sleepless reader!
(Wait, I didn’t mean that literally — the *sleepless* part I mean)
Congratulations!
And I love your pictures as usual 🙂

Yes! Let’s hope this little one will not be sleepless. Congrats!!!
I love the Hemingway, Farewell to Arms shot. I can’t imagine reading it WHERE it was written. Gives me chills just thinking about it.

Congratulations. Is it too early to know if it’s a boy or a girl?

90% chances that it’s a boy.
Will probably by a David but don’t know why (superstition?) for now we’re just calling him Ambrosio…

Congratulations! Boys are great (as I’m sure girls are too, I just happen to have two children of the male variety)! What a beautiful beach! I used to life in Florida but never made it to Hemingway’s house (shameful!).

First of all, congrats on the great news! My best advice would be to lock yourself in a room with them for as long as you can, because you will blink and they will be teenagers! And you were in my stomping grounds! I hope our crazy weather cooperated with you. Didn’t you LOVE the keys?

Congratulations Alex! I hope everything goes well with your pregnancy. I see you’re thinking it’s a boy, I hope it’s a lovely baby boy then. 🙂

Congratulations! Even if I’m way late to the party. And Key West wasn’t my favorite spots but I do wish I had visited Hemingway’s house because it may have made me like it a bit more. The photos are awesome! Looks like you a very relaxing and needed trip.

Hi Alex. Many many congratulations on your exciting news from a fellow first-timer and Brontë book club member. I had my second ultrasound today, so I guess our little ones will be born around the same time. Mine is due next May. How about yours? Kate Healy.

This is great news Kate, mine is due in mid-March (but you never know,l right?). I’m glad to know other women who are due at around my time. I’m sure it will help a lot in the future (build a support network and all that…). Are you coming to the upcoming Bronte Talk on the 13th?

Steph & Tony Investigate!
Ahh! I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to post here – we are in China and until yesterday, I haven’t been able to access countless of my favorite bogs (and those that I could access, I was then blocked from commenting on!). Regardless, a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you and your fiancé and I hope that all is going well! When Tony and I make it to Europe, I hope the THREE of us will be able to celebrate! 😉
